Interesting side of Hitler I was unaware of "Arguably Adolf Hitler’s greatest passion and pastime outside of his quest for world domination was his obsession with architecture and urban design." Here he is with a model of the 330-foot high triumphal arch he wanted. hitler-pics.com/2023/05/06/h...

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.
We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.
suzpretti
18 hours ago

Today marks the six-month anniversary of Alex's murder. No one has been held accountable, no apologies, not a single phone call from any governmental official, hospital personnel, or the mpls police dept. Six-months of pain, a roller-coaster of trauma over and over. Every time another a death, another mention, a picture, a tribute, a sorrow so deep. I wonder how to move forward. Will I ever get over this loss and this pain?
Will I ever be able to enjoy life again? How does one live knowing that I have no power to change what has happened?

And yet the outreach not only from Minnesota, but from around the world has been nothing less than spectacular. Every card, every gift, every heartfelt letter has been read, touched, held, and cherished by us all. The kindness you've all shown us is beyond words. Please never forget Alex and what he believed in ~ equality and peace for all. I will remember the things that made you, you. It will never take your memory. As long as I'm here, you will never be forgotten.

For all you asking what you can do. Continue this fight. Never give up your right to speak out, protect your neighbor, your community and don't forget to spend time with those you love...

MAGA tried to dunk on Mamdani for saying people should set their thermostat to 78° during a heat wave so as not to overload the grid. When it was pointed out that this is just standard advice from the Department of Energy, the Trump administration deleted 6,000 pages of docs from the DoE website🤦🏾‍♂️

Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.
Reuters tweeted: "Pope Leo urged Americans to uphold the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, praising the country's long tradition of welcoming immigrants in his first major address to the United States." They then attached a video of the Pope speaking. 

Someone named NoraNH replied: "The Declaration of Independence doesn’t mention immigrants"The Declaration of Independence.He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Black text on a white page that reads:

New York: this is not ordinary summer weather. This is dangerous heat that can take lives. Our administration is mobilizing to keep people safe and the city prepared. 

We are: 

✔️ Opening hundreds of cooling centers. You can find your nearest cooling center at finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters/ or by calling 311.

✔️ Providing real-time walking directions to nearby cooling centers on thousands of LinkNYC kiosks.

✔️ Deploying 21 COOL vans to bring medical care, water, sunscreen, and transportation directly to our most vulnerable neighbors and check on older adults in their homes.

✔️Expanding outdoor cooling stations with water, misting fans, and cooling towels for outdoor workers including street vendors, deliveristas, and day laborers.

✔️ Contacting more than 75,000 businesses to encourage heat illness plans and remind workers that they can use Protected Time Off for heat-related health issues.

✔️ Extending hours at Olympic- and intermediate-sized outdoor pools until 8:30 p.m. 

✔️Connecting neighbors with outdoor cool options like spray showers at on.nyc.gov/CoolItNYC.

✔️ Distributing spray caps from local firehouses to adults 18 and over to safely turn fire hydrants into sprinklers.
